What an unbelievable run by Lord Windermere who looked out of it at the back. He stormed through the field. Incredible.

All 13 horses are still in contention after clearing the 10th. All except Lord Windermere that is, who is lagging at the back.

Silviniaco Conti has looked a bit iffy on some of the jumps - he fell at the third-last fence last year remember. Last Instalment is jumping well though and has moved to the front.

"No, no, no," bellows the starter. Another false start. It all adds to the excitement, I suppose.
